"Do you have to connect the parts of the armor?" Liu Heng did not agree with Li Guang's design.

"It has to be connected so that it can be best protected."

"Good protection is good, but soldiers have lost their flexibility, and they still can't do it."

"The soldiers wearing this armor don't need to fight one-on-one on the battlefield against the enemy, they have only one role, and that is to charge!"

"Last time on the battlefield of Wuyuan, the heavy cavalry you brought, the battlefield charge is still invincible, but I haven't seen it wrapped so tightly, it can be seen that the design of the righteous brother this time is redundant."

"Big brother, you are thinking far wrong, on the battlefield, there are stray arrows shooting at any time, the safety of these soldiers must be foolproof, if these soldiers are lost, this loss is not small."

"Isn't it just a pair of armor?"

"You are even more wrong, this is not only the loss of armor, the soldiers who can fight in armor, one in a thousand, to maintain a state of being able to fight at any time, you must practice every day, and there is meat in the meal, has this account been calculated?"

"How many heavy cavalry regiments are you going to build?"

"It depends on how many people the eldest brother can afford?"

"Three thousand, no matter how inconvenient it is to hide your strength, you can't afford it for daily use."

Li Guang and Liu Heng chatted in the tent, and the leader of the craftsmen of the ironware battalion asked to see Li Guang outside the tent. It turned out that the fine-scale chain mail required by Li Guang was too ingenious and had to be forged with soft steel, but the soft steel refining technology has never been in the people, and the materials required were rare and rare only in the imperial forge. Li Guang didn't know much about ironmaking, and vaguely remembered that steel was made of iron, and what formula was used in the refining process, but Li Guang didn't know. Since there is an official forging workshop, let Liu Heng do it, a dignified prince, he can't even have a formula, and the world should really belong to the Lu family.

Liu Heng has always been known for his benevolence among many princes, but all the court officials, Gu all bought it, only half a day, Liu Heng sent to the official workshop to ask for the secret recipe and came back, not only brought the formula, but also brought some materials. The craftsmen refined the soft steel, and there was no difficulty, and the next morning, the leader of the craftsmen brought the refined fine scale chain mail for Li Guang to test. Regardless of toughness and strength, it can achieve Li Guang's satisfaction. With the prototype, the production of iron armor has finally accelerated the process.

Li Guang had nothing to do except stare at the craftsman refining iron armor, except for drinking with Liu Heng all day long, Gu stayed alone the rest of the time, Liu Heng knew what Li Guang was thinking, so he invited Li Guang to go out for a walk.

Galloping horses on the road, the passing late autumn scenery, Gu can't hold the hooves of the galloping horses. Li Guang flew straight on the horse, feeling the excitement of the horse running, Han Shangjia was in front, only the bumps on the horse's back always reminded that the beauty was not on his side at this moment, and the scene of Shangjia driving a horse together floated in front of him, which immediately aroused infinite thoughts. "Jia'er, I didn't meet you, I am a soul who has traveled through time, a lonely goose who has lost family affection, it is you who brought me my existence in this world. The lotus pond is vaguely embarrassed, and whispers softly in his ears, but why can't he hold your hand? ”

The afterglow of the setting sun is close to the horizon, swaying a faint bright gold, a kind of unique northern desolation shrouded the banks of the Baideng River, two tired horses, hanging their heads low, leisurely gnawing on the grass and leaves on the shore, Liu Hengping lay on the riverside, watching Li Guang alone, standing in the distance with the sunset, what a heroic man, what an infatuated man, Liu Heng came from the emperor's family, he couldn't feel brotherly affection since he was a child, some were just deceitful and deceitful, and they were the most comfortable days, It was actually after becoming a brother with Li Guang. Han Shangjia, I, Liu Heng, will definitely help my brother-in-law find you.

"Big brother, I want to build an army of my own." Li Guang seemed to want to ask Liu Heng's opinion, but his tone was categorical.

"You are a marquis with a fief, of course you have the right to establish a private army, as long as it does not exceed four hundred people, it is not considered a violation. But you have to bear all the expenses with your own savings, you have just arrived in Baideng for two years, where can you have so much money. ”

"So I'll tell you."

"Okay, I'll give you everything you want."

"No thanks!"

"No, you don't!"

"Go back to the city and drink!"

Liu Heng didn't ask Li Guang's purpose, Li Guang needed it, and he had to help him realize it, just like secretly swearing to find Han Shangjia, there was no need to hesitate.

Bai Deng has Li Guang supervising the production of the battle armor, and after Liu Heng woke up on the second day, he said goodbye without saying goodbye, there are brothers here, what else is there to worry about. With Liu Heng's financial support, Li Guang gathered the defenders of Baideng City together, selected two hundred people from them, set off lightly, and gave each person fifty bean cakes, ten feather arrows, and a dagger, so that Xu Ping could take it, not divided into camps, each holding a card as an identity mark, and also a proof of calculation of combat strength, and entered the Hengshan Mountain Range to train for ten days, attack and defend each other, and strive for each other's identity cards.

According to the Han system, the personal soldiers of the princes of one side did not need to participate in the war against foreign invasions, and the military salary was not only paid monthly, but also enough for the family to have food and clothing and surplus. It must be known that since ancient times, the pro-soldiers have been the personal wings of the local princes, so how can they not love them? On the tenth day of the Hengshan Mountain Range, although it was extremely dangerous, I thought that if I won this training, the identity of the county guard army would become the private army of Bai Denghou's personal soldiers, how could the soldiers not be excited?

After Li Guang sent these 200 soldiers to the Hengshan Mountain Range for training, he followed these soldiers, secretly protecting these soldiers while secretly observing. Within ten days, I found a lot of seedlings with flexible minds and good skills, and this skill was definitely a top soldier in the reserve camp of later generations. With a calculation in his heart, Li Guang no longer followed, in Li Guang's eyes, this kind of training was already commonplace.

Ten days later, a group of ragged soldiers, named Hanako, appeared outside the city of Baideng, and except for the eighteen who went out unharmed, only forty-two people were slightly injured, and the remaining one hundred and fifty sergeants all needed to support each other in order to walk with difficulty. Fifty people in a better state, standing under the city at the moment, are beaming, the unscathed eighteen people are arrogant, this is exactly what Li Guang needs, the pride of the soldiers, is to thwart the enemy, although it is a training, but this training method, unheard of in the Han Dynasty army, in the process of mutual attack and defense, there are bean cakes to eat, but later, bean cakes are scarce, the attack and defense of the two sides have become the battle for bean cakes, these eighteen people in the process of competition between the two sides, spontaneously call on familiar soldiers, form a small group of mutual competition, Before everyone could react, they fought together to compete for famous brands and food, which was what Li Guang wanted to see.

"From today on, you and these fifty people are all my Li Guang's personal soldiers, and all the training and training will be arranged by me personally, and the rest of the soldiers who are not selected, as long as they are willing to practice martial arts, will become my Li Guang's personal soldiers next time, so don't be discouraged, continue to practice diligently."

The 50 people selected by Li Guang were precisely to use the method of special forces training in later generations to train all these soldiers into kings of soldiers, a unit that only obeyed his own orders. And these eighteen people, Li Guang renamed them respectively, Yan Yi to Yan eighteen, this is the code name of the eighteen people in the pro-military camp in the future. Li Guang planned to teach the Poor Clan's refining chapter to the eighteen people in sections and cultivate them carefully. Jia'er, I will take these eighteen people who are invincible, even if I search the ends of the earth, I will definitely find you.

These eighteen people, eighteen horsemen, are Li Guang's "Yanyun Eighteen Horsemen"!
